Weaver Chicken Giveaway and Review

As a working mom of two little ones, our families schedules can be a little crazy at times. So, we are constantly looking for quick and easy meal ideas for dinner. It’s very important to us that we all sit down and eat dinner together as a family, so freeing up my time in the kitchen gives me more time with my family!

When I got the chance to try Weaver Chicken products, I was excited to find out they had Fun Nuggets! With picky eaters, fun-shaped chicken nuggets often entice my kids to eat better. I fixed the nuggets with mac & cheese and it was a hit! They were crispy and the kids loved comparing their shapes with each other! The best part is they’re ready to eat in just 10 minutes! How awesome is that?

Weaver Chicken Company was started in 1937 near Philadelphia by Victor Weaver. The company quickly grew and the products are still being processed in the same plant today! Weaver Chicken is a part of Tyson Foods.

Here’s a few family fun activities you can try with your family, provided by Professional chef, author and mother-of-two, Maureen Petrosky (www.maureenpetrosky.com).

· Dine-in together. Just because you don’t have time to create a meal from scratch, doesn’t mean you can’t put something on the table that’s wholesome and delicious. Keep it simple and serve chicken nuggets alongside a big salad and some fresh bread from the bakery.

· Spice it up. Revisit your pantry or spice drawer to avoid extra trips to the grocery store. With simple ingredients such as rosemary, garlic, oregano or cilantro, you can quickly transform your family’s favorite meals into an array of dinner options. Get everyone involved in meal prep and use this time as an opportunity to catch up with one another.

· Go camping indoors. The rule: no lights, phones or computers from dusk to dawn. Drape the couch and chairs with sheets for a makeshift tent. Put your sleeping bags on the floor, grab your flashlights, and share your best ghost stories.

· Start a dance party. A great way to have some fun with your family is to get everyone dancing. Turn off the TV and turn on some good tunes. Make homemade trophies and prizes to give to the winners. Create special categories for best moves, best spins, most creative, most enthusiastic dancer.

· Turn chore time into an a-maze-ing race. In ten minutes, you can create an indoor maze, complete with clues to take your family on an at-home adventure. Incorporate simple chores like putting away laundry, cleaning under the bed, or setting the table. The final reward can be their favorite dinner or an extra bedtime story.

So, if you would like to win free chicken for a month, then enter these few steps below!

I DID THE FOLLOWING: Mandatory Entry
Leave a comment telling me you’re most creative family dinner activities. I BAKE RAMON NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND VEGGIES (LIKE PEAS) AND CHEESE TO MAKE A GOOD BUT CHEAPT DISH

Instead of fussing over spaghetti night and the mess on clothes, etc- we turn it INTO a mess night. We make sure the table is disinfected- then dump the pot of spaghetti on the table- and let the kids dive in. Kids don’t wear shirts & just use their hands to eat. It’s so fun!

MANDATORY ENTRY: Although my kids are grown, I always got them involved in preparing dinner whether it was washing vegetables, pouring items into a measuring cup, or mixing things in a bowl. It was fun for them and also taught them not to be afraid of cooking!

I am not very creative at all let alone at dinner time. The only thing that I can really think of is stretching the truth to get my kids to eat some foods ie, fried scallops were Chinese chicken nuggets..

When you have 4 kids, it is hard to find things that they will ALL eat! So I like to find new recipes that incorporate their favorite foods! They like trying the new meals and enjoy helping fixing it with me!

I think I posted this in the wrong spot…but I just made like a spaghetti bake last night because my kids were not touching the “goolash” I created, so I spread it in a pan and poured bisquick batter over the top like a shepherds pie and it’s gone tonight

My most creative dinner activity: the whole family was sick and we hadn’t been to the store so we just threw a bunch of stuff in the pantry together and made a great Goolash. The kids perked up and we had a blast putting it together! Now its on our menu every week.

My most creative dinner activity was making up cards with 2 different sishes on it that I had made for supper and my family had to pick a card to determine what they were going to eat for supper. It was fun as with 3 boys and my husband they all like both dishes and to have a good laugh this made for a super night.

Although we don’t do this as often as we use to – one night we “use up” any leftovers in the frig to “create” a new dish. Sometimes it works and sometimes it becomes pizza or soup night. Really depends on the leftovers and what’s in the pantry. We always try to have potatoes, onions and green peppers available.

We survived for about a week cooking over our very small firplace two years ago during an ice storm. My husband was amazed I was talented enough to make eggs, toast, chicken noodle soup, sandwiches and toasted marshmallows for dessert jill24295@yahoo.com

My most creative meals are usually when I am in a hurry or come home late from work and then that’s when I cook everything in a baking pan. It usually consists of diced potatoes, onions, peppers, another vegetable (whatever I have on hand), and chicken with a few dashes of seasoning. Then about 15 minutes prior to taking it out of the oven, I’ll pour some gravy in the pan to mix in with the drippings and voila dinner is made.

We have dinner at the table, no tv for us…except for occasional movie nights. Then it’s a blanket on the floor and pizza or chicken nuggets…something simple that won’t flip flop on the floor and make a huge mess. Our family is SO busy with sports and hard to get too creative but now have a baby in the house so our priorities are shifting back to SLOWING DOWN and actually chewing our food:)

The way I get creative with dinner is having themed dinners. My 4 year old can get picky at mealtimes so we dress up in themed costumes like chinese night, mexican night and such, then we have the meal to match the costumes! My son is much more likely to eat that night because it’s almost a game to him! LOL
